:We don't go by suspicions or theories. We only choose the romanization after we get the confirmation of what its trademarked romanization is - since that is the most official romanization.

:''For those who are uncertain of what I mean, ドラピオン is the world "Dragon" written in Katakana, which reads back as "Doragon".'' | |||
